“The Sky Inflames,” an artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1954, is an oil painting on canvas. The artwork, belonging to the Surrealism art movement, measures 47.5 by 56 cm and falls under the genre of symbolic painting. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a scene enveloped in a vivid, warm yellow hue that suggests an ethereal, dreamlike ambiance. At the center of the composition is a vase brimming with bold, blooming flowers, rendered in rich reds and pinks, adding a striking contrast to the glowing background. To the right of the floral arrangement stands a large, ornate candelabrum, its shape echoing elegance and tradition. At the forefront of the scene, a couple rests on a red couch, entwined in a tender embrace. The scene, imbued with intense colors and surreal elements, communicates a sense of romance and tranquility, typical of Chagall’s symbolic and poetic artistry.
